The year is 2035. Coding agents are somehow 10x better than they were a decade ago. Software is media. The dead internet theory is real. It's a warzone. Impossible to differentiate between what is human and what is AI-generated. Sam Altman keeps trying to convince us to upload our retinas for human identity verification, but no one is down. There are seas of bots roaming the internet. In their tow, vestigial mega-corps hunt them down, last gasps from a legacy internet. The internet becomes completely interoperable. Network effects are dead. The kids spin up UIs like their parents recorded TikToks. One big primordial soup of information. The great fracturing of the AI assistant market is complete. "AI agents" (what our parents called them) are the first things we think of when someone mentions the internet. We don't call them that though. Websites don't exist anymore. Social media pages don't exist anymore. Platforms don't exist anymore. AI is amazing at design. AI is insanely creative. There is a flight to IRL. The cozyweb is the main stage, not the side stage. Somehow, the world didn't end. It got a lot more complex but also a lot more simple. The new arena: relationships, trust, brand, authenticity, status, taste…"the human touch"
